Eisboch wrote: "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Although I do like the way they extended the hull through to the bracket - that's pretty interesting. They had to. I was studying that also. It needs those massive extensions to the main stringers to support the weight of those engines. The bracket is exactly the same design as the one I had on my 25-foot Parker, just larger. The bracket is designed and built that way to add buoyancy at the stern when the boat is at rest. What you are seeing is NOT a bracket for the outboards resting on a hull extension, but, in fact, the bracket itself. It is through-bolted to the transom with hefty stainless steel bolts about every inch and a half along the flat portion. At least it was on my Parker. Therefore, there are no "massive extensions to the main stringers to support the weight of the engines." It could be, but I'd suspect that Eisboch is right - it almost has to be attached directly to the stringers. There's a lot of leverage on that stern for it not to be supported by the hull stringers. There is no real way to tell from the images, but I do like the concept of extending the hull form to the bracket. One of the complaints I've always had about outboard brackets similar to the ones on the Vector series Hydra-Sports is that they tend to bury the engine on take off and coming off plane. Even playing with the trim doesn't help any. Extra buoyancy under the bracket is a good thing - interesting application. |

Pretty hefty trailer and tow vehicle, probably NOT an F150. I know you like Parkers, which is fine, but to me, this simply looks like a big, obese and overgrown version of the 25 footer. The huge Yamaha outboards further reinforce that image. It might look better if it was set up with twin inboard diesels. Some larger boats, like a Yellowfin 34 or 36 CC offshore fishing boat look natural with big outboards and they preserve space for fishing and gear. IMO, the Parker just doesn't look right with twin monsterous outboards. What struck me was how unbalanced the boat looks on dry land - all that cabin up front, huge stern deck and then the engines. It just looks unbalanced. I'm sure it's a sound boat - Parker doesn't build junk boats - it just looks odd. Yeah, odd is a much better word. It's just a bit bigger than you are used to seeing in that size boat. True enough. Put it another way...if I removed the center console from my Parker, I believe your Ranger would fit inside and you wouldn't see your boat's gunnels, and our boats are about the same length. Nope - they would match up pretty well - the only thing your boat that makes it different is that it's a little longer than mine while mine is marginally wider (8'8" vs 8'6") and your sides may be slightly taller from the chine to the top of the gunwale. Here's an interesting exercise for us to try - measure from the keel to the highest point of the gunwale, measure the broadest points gunwale-to-gunwale, and the overall length. Use the following formula - Length times breadth (side-to-side at it's broadest point) times depth (keel to highest point on gunwale) times .67 and divide that by 100. I'll bet your GT and mine are within 5% of each other. These are pilothouse style boats, and very traditional in proportions. The cockpit is huge so as to accommodate the largest possible number of fishermen. You obviously prefer a different style. I've always liked workboat type boats. Totally agree with that. As Eisboch says, to each their own. From guys I've talked to, Parkers have their following - which is cool - every guy has their favorite (or dream) boat. I know guys who only buy Grady's and wouldn't consider any other boat. Same with a ton of other vessels. And Parker does build a quality boat - over and over and over again which is my main complaint - there are marginal differences from year-to-year - the styling just hasn't been updated. Consider the venerable Novi hull as an example - the base style and function stays the same, but there are differences depending on the manufacturer. You can look at a classic Novi hull and say, yep - that's a Novi hull, but you can tell differences between hulls by how long the forefoot is, the tumblehome at the stern - bow flare, etc. That's a proven hull design which has been adapted and changed mainly for style reasons - the base hull design has never changed. I've seen different year Parkers and they all look the same - no changes. I just don't like static designs, but it works for you and that's great. |

It almost looks fake. One either likes the way Parkers look...or one doesn't. That's very true. I've been on the 23 T Big Bay boat that Parker makes - rugged, tough, no nonsense fishing boat - it's impressive and I like the way it looks. The 2100 is a nice boat for it's size too. If only they would change the color. That off white just doesn't do it for me. :) Hey. it's not a bubble boat, that's for sure. :) Depends on your definition of bubble boat. All that cabin up from with that hot house cabin (which is something I've never understood - every cabin Parker I've been on is hot as hell inside and you have to keep the boat moving to get any ventilation) it might as well be a bubble boat even if it doesn't look like a classic bubble boat. Interesting. When I owned one, I'd go into the main cabin in the hot summer to get away from the heat. It was much cooler inside the cabin with the opening front and side glass. White, as you know, reflects heat. Hey...these are fiberglass boats, white as God intended such boats to be. The Big Bay, btw, is a mod-vee hull, and isn't as deep in the cockpit (or the bottom) as the deep vees. Of course they aren't - it's a mod V just like mine. Different type of boat entirely. That 23' hull is now available as a work boat, with absolutely nothing on the interior deck. No console, no rigging, no nothing. There's a 21' version now, too. Workboat market. Parker's aren't white. Or what I consider white. :) |

If only they would change the color. That off white just doesn't do it for me. :) Hey. it's not a bubble boat, that's for sure. :) Depends on your definition of bubble boat. All that cabin up from with that hot house cabin (which is something I've never understood - every cabin Parker I've been on is hot as hell inside and you have to keep the boat moving to get any ventilation) it might as well be a bubble boat even if it doesn't look like a classic bubble boat. Interesting. When I owned one, I'd go into the main cabin in the hot summer to get away from the heat. It was much cooler inside the cabin with the opening front and side glass. White, as you know, reflects heat. Hey...these are fiberglass boats, white as God intended such boats to be. The Big Bay, btw, is a mod-vee hull, and isn't as deep in the cockpit (or the bottom) as the deep vees. Of course they aren't - it's a mod V just like mine. Different type of boat entirely. That 23' hull is now available as a work boat, with absolutely nothing on the interior deck. No console, no rigging, no nothing. There's a 21' version now, too. Workboat market. Parker's aren't white. Or what I consider white. :) Neither are "white people." |

One of the complaints I've always had about outboard brackets similar to the ones on the Vector series Hydra-Sports is that they tend to bury the engine on take off and coming off plane.

Pretty hefty trailer and tow vehicle, probably NOT an F150. I know you like Parkers, which is fine, but to me, this simply looks like a big, obese and overgrown version of the 25 footer. The huge Yamaha outboards further reinforce that image. *It might look better if it was set up with twin inboard diesels. *Some larger boats, like a Yellowfin 34 or 36 CC offshore fishing boat look natural with big outboards and they preserve space for fishing and gear. *IMO, the Parker just doesn't look right with twin monsterous outboards. What struck me was how unbalanced the boat looks on dry land - all that cabin up front, huge stern deck and then the engines. *It just looks unbalanced. *I'm sure it's a sound boat - Parker doesn't build junk boats - it just looks odd. Yeah, odd is a much better word. It's just a bit bigger than you are used to seeing in that size boat. True enough. Put it another way...if I removed the center console from my Parker, I believe your Ranger would fit inside and you wouldn't see your boat's gunnels, and our boats are about the same length. Nope - they would match up pretty well - the only thing your boat that makes it different is that it's a little longer than mine while mine is marginally wider (8'8" vs 8'6") and your sides may be slightly taller from the chine to the top of the gunwale. Here's an interesting exercise for us to try - measure from the keel to the highest point of the gunwale, measure the broadest points gunwale-to-gunwale, and the overall length. *Use the following formula - Length times breadth (side-to-side at it's broadest point) times depth (keel to highest point on gunwale) times .67 and divide that by 100. I'll bet your GT and mine are within 5% of each other. These are pilothouse style boats, and very traditional in proportions. The cockpit is huge so as to accommodate the largest possible number of fishermen. You obviously prefer a different style. I've always liked workboat type boats. Totally agree with that. *As Eisboch says, to each their own. From guys I've talked to, Parkers have their following - which is cool - every guy has their favorite (or dream) boat. *I know guys who only buy Grady's and wouldn't consider any other boat. Same with a ton of other vessels. *And Parker does build a quality boat - over and over and over again which is my main complaint - there are marginal differences from year-to-year - the styling just hasn't been updated. Consider the venerable Novi hull as an example - the base style and function stays the same, but there are differences depending on the manufacturer. *You can look at a classic Novi hull and say, yep - that's a Novi hull, but you can tell differences between hulls by how long the forefoot is, the tumblehome at the stern - bow flare, etc. That's a proven hull design which has been adapted and changed mainly for style reasons - the base hull design has never changed. *I've seen different year Parkers and they all look the same - no changes. I just don't like static designs, but it works for you and that's great.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Everything about Harry is "static". One look at him will tell you that. |
